Hope you like
Looks great:D I'm guessing you used the base/LX header panel to increase airflow to the front mount intercooler?
Those Mustang wheels really look great on there.
Yep. I was gonna add mesh or a floating ford logo in grille area, but its time to work on mine now.
Great work,, Hope your son is careful with it.
are those the tails that stinger and I mocked up for you?
Nice looking car!. 10.5 rears? custom offset, they don't look like 10.5s....
Definetly needs the 97 floating bird in the center and the upper bird removed,possibly some mesh(not sure though.
Otherwise,lookin good.
Beautiful car!
Looking Good
Yes, I finally had a chance to install them. I slant cut them to give them that mustang GT exhaust look. Gonna send you and stinger a PM on install. friggin nightmare!
Wow. Badass lookin car.
how were they a nightmare? mine went in without a fight... I took the shocks loose and the wheel off since I was doing them on the ground.
For some reason the passenger side tail pipe was not clearing the axel or the rear control arm. I had to cut the heck out of it and beat on the bracket that holds the tank in place to make it fit. The other side was not so bad, but I stil had to cut that side to so that the piping would clear the axel and control arm. Definetly not a plug and play. Cost me $$ in added time to get it adjusted right. Should have come with instructions or at least a picture layout fro whoever installs.
They sure are every bit 10.5". I shaved 3/16 additional from the backspacing to bring them in more. I also had to remove that secondary shock. My wheels didnt move outward with the 5 lug swap because I didnt use lincoln axels. I took my stock axels and modded them to 5 lug so that I would not loose my ebrake.
Love the Bullitt rims. I like the 17" rims but would have gone with thicker side walls to show more meat.
You definitely executed the low profile well though.
Great work.
Yep, and they are plentiful in the jy's. In the summer his car will run cooler in the LA traffic as well.
are you using offset/offset lers?
Ugh! Was that the issue!! The lers were ATR straight through style. Dang it! You guys should have warned me. If thats the case, my bad. I have to say even after the tweaking the exhaust looks kicka$$
You drilled new holes and put studs in?
mine are offset/offset flowmaster 40's
yep. I sealed them and redrilled them. Then I just took stock rotors and had them drilled to 5 lug too(didnt seal those though, just redrilled them)
Heres a pic..

Yeh, actually they came with 315's but my son always has people in the back, so I swapped them for 275's. No rub and I wont have the kid calling me for tires. LOL!! I would have realy made the 10.5's stand out more (But thats for my car)
Weird, they look like they have the same lip front and rear. That's why i asked about the offset. My 10.5s have a 2" lip.
I know, and that's probably why I got them for $125. LOL!! Next time I'm gonna get the ones with the deep dish style. His look cool when you are up on it from the back, but not really from the side. His entire project now. Once it left the driveway, the investments are his now. Time to work on my baby. Wait till I'm done with her.
I want that car pretty bad. Nice build. Mine doesn't even have an engine in it. :( Very Darth Vader.
nice car, but why is the back, passenger side of the hood sticking up in the air?
Where do you buy these clear corner lights?
Also would it be possible to get a video of it at idle? I want to hear this cam!
i remember on the old board, people were tinkering with the corner lense, you gotta take it apart to get the yellow out..........
i think thats what i remember. its been several years though but it has been done.
user name "thesoldan" , he coug seems to have them white as well.
how do i know,, ?
the banner up right now for me shows his / her car
hmm...I may try it out on a mustang corner light before i mess up the ones in my bird.
Great looking car.Nice work.
I used 92 lincoln mark VII front rotors. direct swap that took less than 30 minutes. I had a local machine shop do the rear axels, so I dont know what he did exaclty, just glad it could be done. He now has a jig using a ranger 5 lug drum I brought, so I can make more whenever I want.
The hood sticks up because I just can seem to align it! Everyone I have spoken to tells me that its never quite right once you remove the hood. If you have a secret, please let me know.
I made them myself and you dont have to break them open to do it. Takes me less than 15 minutes per side. All you need is a long screw driver, hammer, and wire snips.
1)You take the long screw driver and hammer and stick screwdriver into bulb hole to crack the yellow lens into peices.
* A slightly bent large thin screwdriver works great
2)Once its in peices you just maneuver the broken pieces towards the bulb hole.
3)Then use the wire snips to cut the broken peices up into smaller peices until the broken pieces are big enough to fall out the hole.
4)Then you rinse out the remaining debri and let it dry. Wallah, clear corners.
Son's TC??? I did not think you where that old for some reason, I thought you were around my age. Nice job on the Turbo Coupe. :)
Nice tip. Would of never thought of doing it that way.
Alligning the hodd is easy... I have taken them off and re aligned them many times.. just got to keep playing with it til it is right...
Good looking Bird
Love it!
It came out great! Looks sweet! Thanks for the tip for the clear corners. I'm going to give it a try, I have extras I can try it on.
that clear corner trick is freakin awesome.
i had been wanting to do mine ever since i got the car, but didn't want to take the chance of messing them up cutting and resealing them. so today i tried it this way.
i was done in under 10 minutes including pulling them out and putting them back in.
When I take the hood off, there are rust holes left over, so its easy to line it back up. You have problems when you take the hinges out though.
I love how you guys do stuff ive never had time to do myself. :bowdown:
the only conflict i think there is to the clear turn lamps is the lense is not yellow, however the bulb being yellow may fix that whole tecnicality. for state inspection purposes, me thinks the yellow lense doubles as a reflector and is required color coding for corner front left/right while the rear is red left / right.
trailors are wired the same way with yellow lenses up front , red in the rear.
